Instructions

Crack and Beat the Eggs: Start by cracking your eggs into a bowl. Use a fork or whisk to beat them until the whites and yolks blend into a uniform yellow mixture. Beat just enough to combine without whipping in too much air for a dense, creamy texture.
Heat Your Pan Gently: Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add butter (or oil for dairy-free). Let it melt slowly so it coats the pan evenly without browning. Low heat is key to cooking eggs gently and preventing rubbery textures.
Pour in the Eggs and Stir: Pour the beaten eggs into the buttery pan. With a silicone spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs constantly, scraping the pan’s bottom in smooth motions to form soft curds.
Season and Remove Before Fully Set: As the eggs begin to thicken but remain slightly runny, season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat just before they look completely cooked; the residual warmth will finish the job for creamy, tender scrambled eggs.

Notes

Cook eggs slowly over low heat for the best creamy texture.
Use a non-stick pan to avoid sticking and make stirring easier.
Butter enriches flavor and contributes to a silky mouthfeel, but can be replaced with oils for dairy-free option.
Do not overbeat eggs to avoid dry or rubbery results.
Remove scrambled eggs from heat just before fully cooked to use residual heat for finishing.
